“We have been the hands that manufactured GTS equipment together since 2016 and have enjoyed this close GTS-Signatone relationship. Now as one company, we look forward to growing the capability and product line focused on ESD technology” said Brian Dickson, VP Engineering of Lucas Signatone.  Justin Katz is the director of operations of the new division. “Even though Evan Grund has retired, he continues to be a valuable resource of advice and experience.” Justin remarked. “Working with Signatone’s engineering team and staff will be a big help in getting products developed more efficiently.”

The PurePulse ESD division will continue to be the leader in 2-pin testing of 300mm wafers. In the immediate future, new offerings in 2-pin package device testing and advances in VF-TLP will be introduced.  We look forward to working with customers and the ESD society to advance ESD testing technology.
